Chapter 1254: A Huge Bargain

"Robbery?!"

"If we seize this mine, we will definitely have a falling out with the Black Dragon Divine Guards!"

"Indeed, although our Divine Path Sect is not afraid of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Guards, if we go to war over this mine, it might give other sects an opportunity to take advantage!"

"Hmm, this move needs to be carefully considered."

"In my opinion, robbery is a bad strategy. Fighting and killing are not wise actions. It would be better for us to reveal our identities and see if we can negotiate to buy the Starfall Crystal Sand from this mine."

By the end of the discussion, the old men had quietly exchanged glances and nodded.

"This is indeed a feasible approach."

"Although Starfall Crystal Sand is precious, everything in the world has a price. If we offer enough, there might still be room for negotiation."

"Hmm, even if the hope is slim, we have no choice but to try."

The old men, their faces lined with wrinkles, had weathered countless storms. In just a few words, they had seen through many things and had already devised the most reasonable plan.

However, when they thought about the upcoming transaction, none of them felt confident.

After all, Starfall Crystal Sand was a treasure that every sect coveted. Even if they offered enough, the Black Dragon Divine Guards might not agree.

As they anxiously exchanged glances, suddenly!

Ripples appeared in the void before them!

Several figures slowly stepped out.

Everyone wore solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the figures before them.

But when they saw who had arrived, no one spoke first. The old men's eyes flashed with surprise and suspicion, as if things had taken an unexpected turn!

The newcomers were not the Black Dragon Divine Guards, but a group of unfamiliar faces.

At a glance, their cultivation levels seemed unremarkable.

Only the young man at the front showed no signs of fluctuation, exuding an inscrutable and profound aura that instantly captivated the attention of the Divine Path Sect elders.

A strong expert.

This stranger was an unprecedented powerhouse!

Even though they exchanged quiet glances and were still several meters apart, the elders dared not make any moves. They suddenly felt immense pressure, and their hearts grew increasingly tense!

For a moment, their minds were filled with anxiety, and the situation became deadlocked.

On the other side.

Yi Feng was also completely baffled.

He had thought that he had finally encountered the elite forces of the Black Dragon Divine Guards, but instead, it was a group of old men with a bunch of people. Their attire seemed a bit off.

Blinking, he decided to speak up and test the waters.

"Gentlemen, may I ask what brings you here...?"

The Divine Path Sect elder quickly responded, his tone extremely cautious!

"Esteemed friend."

"We have disturbed you without warning, and we hope for your forgiveness."

"We have come here to purchase some ore. No matter the price, feel free to name it. Even if you are unwilling to sell, we bear no grudge. We apologize for the intrusion and hope for your understanding."

These elders were all shrewd individuals.

Even when facing a stranger, they were extremely cautious. Firstly, the other party's cultivation level was difficult to gauge, so they needed to be careful. Secondly, Starfall Crystal Sand was incredibly precious, so they dared not speak too boldly, leaving room for retreat.

They had thought that only the captain of the Black Dragon Divine Guards could have such resources, to open such a large mine without leaking any news.

Unexpectedly, it was a stranger!

A stranger who could achieve such a feat...

This was even more impressive than the captain of the Black Dragon Divine Guards, who had the backing of a major force!

At this moment, although they spoke of buying the mine, they held little hope. It was merely an attempt. Regardless of the price or their attitude, they presented themselves with utmost humility.

Whether the deal succeeded or not, they absolutely could not make an enemy of this person!

This was the way of the world.

When Yi Feng heard this, he was completely stunned.

Buy the mine?

What on earth?

He had already felt that something was off when he saw the attire of these people, but he hadn't expected things to be so far beyond his expectations.

He had been thinking about fighting someone...

But instead, they were here to do business!

Instantly, the inexperienced Yi Feng found himself in a dilemma.

"This..."

Seeing his hesitant expression, the Divine Path Sect elder secretly admired him.

This person was indeed a remarkable figure.

Even the act of driving up the price was performed so naturally. If they didn't raise the offer, it would almost be a disservice to his acting skills.

Impressive!

After a few quiet glances, the elders gritted their teeth and expressed their utmost sincerity!

"We understand your difficulties, and we won't speak in vague terms. A flat price of one billion immortal crystals, how does that sound?"

It was true that Starfall Crystal Sand was priceless.

But in transactions between major forces, it was often tacitly agreed that one grain of Starfall Crystal Sand was worth one billion immortal crystals. This price was exorbitant, but it was also reasonable.

After all, even in the largest mines, there might only be a few grains of crystal sand. Scarcity made it valuable.

When Yi Feng heard this price, he was also greatly shocked!

Good heavens...

He had stumbled upon a mine for free, and now he could sell it for one billion?

That was one billion!!!

In his entire life, Yi Feng had never heard of such a sum, let alone possessed it!

Who would have thought.

The heavens could really drop a pie, and a huge one at that!

But after a brief moment of excitement, Yi Feng quickly calmed down.

If they offered one billion so readily, it meant that this price was quite normal. He hadn't expected the mine to be so valuable, but surely he could raise the price!

In business, if you don't aim high, how can you call yourself a seller?

He understood this principle very well!

He wasn't a fool!

Even if he had gotten the mine for free, he couldn't just sell it off at the first offer.

Adhering to the principle of never taking a loss, Yi Feng secretly gritted his teeth!

"One and a half billion! Not a single crystal less!"

Regardless of the circumstances, he would start high. There was always room for negotiation, and starting high was never wrong.

Sure enough.

As soon as he spoke, the old men across from him were stunned!

They exchanged quiet glances, filled with shock and frustration.

Who would have thought that this person could be so ruthless, raising the price by half for a single grain of Starfall Crystal Sand!

This kind of ruthless price gouging...

He must have seen through their urgent need for Starfall Crystal Sand!

This person had extraordinary depth and was adept at reading people's minds. He was definitely no ordinary character!

Although the elders were angry, they also sensed a glimmer of hope.

Since the other party was willing to raise the price, it meant that the Starfall Crystal Sand could be sold. As long as they could buy it, they would grit their teeth and accept the higher price. After all, compared to such a treasure, no amount of immortal crystals could compare!

Moreover.

If they could purchase the crystal sand and use this opportunity to befriend such a suddenly rising figure, they might have the chance to interact with him again in the future. Gaining his favor now was not a bad thing.

After a few moments of quiet exchange, the leading elder gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and clasped his fists.

"Fine! It's a deal. One and a half billion, flat price!"

Seeing the other party's generosity, Yi Feng suddenly felt that he had been too hasty!

But since things had come to this.

He had gotten one and a half billion for free, and he could accept that!

This time, he had truly struck a huge bargain.

Having thought it through, Yi Feng happily stepped forward, clapped his hands, and loudly agreed to the deal!

"Deal!"

"Money in one hand, goods in the other. Give me one and a half billion immortal crystals, and this mine is yours!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The Divine Path Sect elders were all dumbfounded, standing frozen in place, their eyes filled with confusion!

Wasn't this price for a single grain of Starfall Crystal Sand?

How did it become the entire mine?

Had they misheard? Could such a huge bargain really exist in the world?!
